Have you every completed a 1000 piece puzzle? It is quite an accomplishment…. It requires us to seek 1000 times. Until every single cardboard cutout is
in the right space, interlocking perfectly with every other cardboard cutout
around it, and creating an image that is whole.
When we find one piece, there is still another to be
found. We are not done with the
journey until every piece is in its place, when we can finally see the whole
picture, and step back from our work to admire the whole scene.
I often get stuck looking for one piece, one sky blue
cardboard cutout that I “need” to connect two sections together. But if I am stuck on one piece, I am
neglecting the 999 others that will also provide forward progress.
In life we sometimes get stuck on one piece, and are blinded
to the other paths that ultimately reach the same goal. Take a deep breath. And try looking at it another way. You never know what doors God will open
in the most unlikely places!
